Nicely made cable - good vfmI needed a 3.5mm stereo jack to twin XLR Y-Splitter cable for a L/R microphone recording application.
After comparing various similar Y-splitters on the Maplin website, I finally chose this product because it looked professional. I ordered it on-line and my wife collected it for me from the Cambridge Beehive store that afternoon. It came nicely packaged and presented and was indeed well made with a good, solid encapsulated splice from which the L&R leads emerge. The outer covering of the cable is braided - very much like you would find on an electric iron.
Because I needed XLR connectors, the first thing I did was to cut off the two rather nice phono connectors - a bit of a shame, I know but didn't want to go down the multiple-adapters-joined-together route ... been there, done that many times before! This application was for a live one-off recording so I could not take the risk of any buzzes or loss of signal.
I did notice, however, that there is no outer braided shielding - something that you would usually expect to find on a shielded mic cable. Instead, the cable appears to use a conductive outer dielectric shield with a stranded copper drain wire to hook up as the earth/return signal. I did try to measure the conductivity of the outer dielectric, but it didn't seem
very conductive to me... However, that aside - the cable worked perfectly and I would definitely recommend it.
Perhaps Maplin ought to make an XLR version ;)
